TWENTY FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~ AUGUST 26, 2018

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, commonly known as the RCIA, is the normal way in which adults become fully active,

participating members of the Catholic Church. It is a community journey and a personal journey and involves the whole parish in welcoming the new members through prayer, hospitality and the celebration of the various Rites of Initiation. RCIA helps adults grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, become acquainted with people in the parish and get involved in service with the parish or the wider community. Many individuals who wish to join the Catholic Church have already been baptized in another Christian Church. They need not be re-baptized but follow a form of four steps which are adapted to the particular needs and concerns of Christians from another faith.

First Step – Period of Inquiry (Evangelization): How someone comes to consider joining the Catholic Church is unique to each individual. Years of marriage to a Catholic spouse, conversations with a Catholic friend, family member or coworker, or even something written or viewed in the media can move an adult toward membership in the Catholic Church. Informally, this period can be for as long as necessary. At some point, the individual may contact the parish and begin to meet with other adults who are also inquiring about the Catholic faith. Through the RCIA program, these adults will take time to tell their own stories and connect them with the faith stories found in sacred scripture.

Second Step – Period of Teaching (Catechumenate): Some of the Inquirers become firm in their desire for initiation and decide that they would like to begin more formal study of the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. They are admitted into the next step through a special ceremony called the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens, in which the Church symbolically claims these men and women for Christ by signing them with the cross.

Third Step – Rite of Election and the Period of Purification and Enlightenment: The period of the catechumenate ends when the Catechumens discern, with the help of their sponsors and the parish RCIA, that God is calling them to receive the Sacraments of Initiation, which include Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion at the Easter Vigil. Before initiation, the bishop or someone designated by him officially calls

(continued above)

them to the sacrament in the Rite of Election, usually celebrated on the first Sunday of Lent in the Archdiocesan Cathedral. The Rite of Election marks the end of the normal study of teaching and practices of the Church, at which time the Catechumens are now called the Elect. The weeks of Lent are a time of deeper prayer as the Elect prepare themselves to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord at Easter and to receive the Sacraments of Initiation. On the Sundays of Lent, the

parish community prays in a special way for the Elect to help them prepare more fully for the sacraments. The sponsors continue to accompany the Elect in Church and support them in their Lenten preparations.

Fourth Step – Initiation and Mystagogy A period of fifty days from Easter to Pentecost completes the initiation process. It is a time of unfolding the meaning of the sacraments received at the Easter Vigil and for the newly received to find an active place

in the parish community.

JOIN US IN A “JOURNEY IN FAITH” RCIA sessions begin in September on selected Wednesday evenings and continue through Easter. Anyone who would like to learn more about becoming a fully initiated Catholic through the sacraments, or any Catholic adult who would like to be confirmed, is welcome to attend. For further information about RCIA, anyone interested may contact Fr. Anthony at [email protected] or call 201-261-0148 x13.

Peace,

Fr. Anthony

SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH ORADELL/NEW MILFORD, NJ

WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW ALTAR SERVERS!

Altar Servers perform a very important and much needed role of assisting in liturgical services so that

the presider can focus on leading all present through word, prayer and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Any child wishing to become an altar server must have already received First Holy Communion and be at least in the 4th grade. (This is a new eligible age for junior altar servers at Saint Joseph.) More information on training for altar servers will be announced soon and details will be provided on our parish website. If your child is interested in learning more about becoming an altar server, or if you have any questions about the ministry yourself, please contact Fr. Anthony at [email protected] or call 201-261-0148 ext. 13.

Other offerings include Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John (8 wks)and Walking toward Eternity: Daring to Walk the Walk (8 wks). All studies meet weekly for 90 minutes in the Parish Life Center. Daytime and Evening meeting times are available. Registration fees range from $20-$30 depending on the course. All participants will receive a study guide. ON-LINE REGISTRATION is also available by going to sjcnj.org, clicking on “Parish Activities” and then “Bible Study.” You can fill in the online form. (Be sure to scroll down and click “Submit” when you are finished filling out the form.) You can drop off or mail your check to the parish office/rectory at 105 Harrison St., New Milford, NJ 07646.

HAVE YOU LOST A LOVED ONE? BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP

(Anyone interested, including parishioners from other churches, are welcome.) The purpose of the group is to provide opportunities for mutual healing in a confidential, educational and spiritual environment. The group will meet for 7 weeks on Fridays (7:00-9:00 pm) from September 7—October 19 in the Parish Life Center (268 Grove St, Oradell, NJ—behind the lower school building), If you would like to participate, or if you need more information, please contact our parish secretary Gerry at 201-261-0148.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION “If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide today whom you will serve…As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15) When we commit to serve the Lord, we must be willing to become a partner in the work of the Lord. A partner is a person who invests time in prayer every day,

joyfully participates in charitable works and generously supports the parish and Church mission. If we say we serve God, we must actually do something and not merely talk about it!

PRAYER REQUESTS

Let us remember all those who are ill: Gilbert Mai, Carmen Jimenez

Let us remember all those who have recently died: Grace Gaynor, Sister Romilda Chiga,

Deacon Ramo n Villeda-Ramos

Let us remember those serving in the military.
